As an undergraduate, I excelled not only in science but also in literature, history, philosophy, economics, art history, architecture, and multiple foreign languages. I've taught in both public and private schools, sharing my enthusiasm for science and the humanities with diverse students of all ages.

SAT Reading

SAT Reading

The SAT doesn't measure aptitude, intelligence, or knowledge. It measures your ability to play a game designed by the SAT's authors. You can't win a game if you don't know the rules. Preparing for the SAT is NOTHING like studying for a midterm or final in a normal high school class. I will teach you the unique, targeted strategies you need to play the SAT game. There's no "A for effort," no credit for interpretation or creativity. Because the exam is designed to produce standardized results, SAT questions follow a predictable set of rules that a trained test taker can exploit to achieve high scores.

Excellent SAT Prep Tutor

Geoffrey is an engaging and knowledgeable tutor who has completely changed my perspective on how to approach the SAT reading section. In just a couple of weeks, he was able to help improve my test-taking skills and make me more confident for test day.

Knowledge and easy to work with as a tutor

Geoffrey has been tutoring my daughter one day a week in AP Biology for the last few months and her knowledge of the subject has greatly improved along with a letter grade improvement since we started tutoring

Geoffrey taught me at a university level about my academic speaking and writing, and even offered advice on how to proceed for graduate school and beyond, he is a great mentor, he is very patient and is encouraging all the time, I am very grateful I found him.
